claws-mail: 3.17.8 -> 4.0.0

With Claws Mail's latest double release of 3.18.0 and 4.0.0, the package
will refer to the more "modern" GTK+ 3 release, major version four. The
GTK+ 2 release, major version 3, is now available in the
`claws-mail-gtk2` package.

In other words, this commit bumps the GTK+ 2 version from 3.17.8 to
3.18.0, the previously unstable GTK+ 3 version 3.99.0 to 4.0.0 and
changes the default to GTK+ 3.

   However, if [`services.fail2ban.enable`](options.html#opt-services.fail2ban.enable) is `true`, the `fail2ban` will override the verbosity to `"VERBOSE"`, so that `fail2ban` can observe the failed login attempts from the SSH logs.
 
 - Sway: The terminal emulator `rxvt-unicode` is no longer installed by default via `programs.sway.extraPackages`. The current default configuration uses `alacritty` (and soon `foot`) so this is only an issue when using a customized configuration and not installing `rxvt-unicode` explicitly.
